The Department of Health (DOH) does not issue licenses for the operation of group homes for children. The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) licenses Adult Family Care Homes, Intermediate Care Facilities for the Developmentally Disabled (ICFDD), other various group homes for adults, and manages the Medicaid program in Florida. For additional information, you can go to their website at: http://www.fdhc.state.fl.us/licensing_cert.shtml Select the facility type from the central list provided or select Medicaid from the left-hand list. The facility locator website is: http://facilitylocator.floridahealthstat.com/ The Agency for Persons with Disabilities licenses group homes and foster homes for the disabled in Florida.
